Best Tools Included With Cameras? Check Hikvision

Ethan Ace

I just opened a new Hikvision outdoor dome, and included in the box was this Torx wrench:

Normally, cameras ship with a tiny 2-3" Torx key, if anything. Not exactly a make or break on the deal, but it's much more comfortable tightening things with the larger handle, and the extra length makes it easier to get down into recessed screws, which is a problem on some domes especially.

It got me thinking: who else includes actual useful tools with cameras instead of the bare minimum little metal keys? I seem to recall Axis shipping an actual plastic handled screwdriver at one point, but I don't remember if they still do.
